Omega (Alpha & Omega #1)

{Chapter Fifty One}

Part alpha? How in the world can an omega be "part" alpha? You were either alpha, beta, or omega. There was no "part" anything. You were your class.

"It's happened before," Teo explained. "There have only been a few other cases of people being two separate classes, but it's mostly betas being half alpha. The only thing I can think of is that you were trained that way, so the part of you that wanted to be an alpha blossomed. Then it was pushed back when your tests came back as an omega. The omega gene definitely overpowers the alpha gene, but you do have some alpha in you, Phoenix."

That was the most words I ever heard him speak since I'd known him. Even though he seemed to explain it, I couldn't wrap my head around it.

Teo helped me to my feet. He mumbled something that I couldn't hear, but it seemed the other alphas in the yard heard it perfectly, like he had screamed it. All of the other men's eyes turned to me, waiting for my reaction.

"What," I asked.

Teo grasped my chin in his hand and tilted my head up. "I said...it's incredibly powerful when let loose."

I shook my head, already dismissing the idea. Other cases, my ass. An omega couldn't be part alpha, no matter how small that part is. Then again, how the hell had I moved so quickly and had Teo on the ground before I could even think about what I was doing? I didn't even remember doing it. I just remembered fingers probing against my brain and all of a sudden, I was over top of him, pissed out of my mind.

Teo stopped me from shaking my head, though. He held my chin in place and looked down at me, his eyes searching my face. Then I felt the probing again.

"Stop," he said when I started struggling.

I glared at him. I still hadn't given him permission to probe my mind for whatever it was he was looking for. But he did it anyway, and I felt little fingers wrapping around my insides, continuing to search.

Cayson grabbed my hand. I couldn't look at him, because the great doctor was still holding onto my chin. But I felt him there, and I felt Keon's eyes watching for any sign of discomfort.

It seemed like forever before he finally let his hand fall away from my face. My insides were freezing, and I was shaking as I stood in front of him, my teeth clattering.

"What the fuck are you," I asked.

Teo raised an eyebrow. "That's a story for another time."

Secretive bastard. He can probe in my mind and he can't even tell me what he was?

"She's eighty-five percent omega," Teo's lip quirked slightly, "and fifteen percent alpha. An incredibly repressed fifteen percent."

"You did all that," I said, "yet you had to take blood to see what was wrong with my heat?"

Teo's lip curled just a bit more. "More fun poking and prodding into people's skin, rather than poking and prodding into people's brains and organs with my mind."

Okay, so he scared the shit out of me.

I crossed my arms over my chest in an attempt to warm up.

"You have nothing to worry about," Teo said, turning to leave. "She's just fine."

"I should kick your ass," I grumbled.

I thought I said it softly enough to not be heard, but Teo looked over his shoulder and winked. "I'll look forward to it, mix breed."

I felt my lip twitch. Mix breed? Is that what I was going to be referred to as? That was great. Just what I wanted.

One would think that since I found out that I was part alpha, I'd feel different. But I didn't. I still hated most alphas, still despised the majority of betas I came across. But there I was, fifteen percent alpha in a world where something like that had never existed in an omega.

I understood Teo's fascination. I couldn't blame him for being curious. Even I was curious, though I still had no idea how it was even possible.

Cayson and Keon must have sensed it. They pointed out something with my eyes, and maybe that's when they contacted Teo to see what was wrong this time. I don't think either of them was expecting to hear I was part alpha, no matter how small that part actually was.

I didn't want to dwell on it. I was still an omega. Just every time someone said I was an alpha in an omega's body...they were right.

"Makes sense," Seth finally said. "You are incredibly strong, for an omega."

"You might actually be able to kill her," Keon murmured.

I looked over at him, and he was smiling slightly. He seemed to be in awe, staring at me much like his brother was.

I finally realized what happened when I lost consciousness and was suddenly on top of Teo. I lost my control, much like I'd seen Keon and Cayson lose their control when their alpha side pushed to the forefront.

The memory came back full force, like that fifteen percent of me wanted the other eighty-five percent to know what kind of person I could be. What kind of alpha I could be.

I'd moved quickly, kicking my foot out hard enough to crack bone. I felt the bone break under the force of my kick, and while Teo went to reach for the area, he let me go. The moment my feet hit the ground, I pounced and brought him down, wrapping a hand around his throat.

It happened quickly. And the astonishment on his face was replaced by fear, then morbid curiosity. He healed quickly, which was also different from most. He walked away like he wasn't in any pain at all.

I looked after Teo long after he left the house. Now Teo...he was different. There was something about him that ticked differently, kind of like Seth. They weren't normal.

But neither was I, apparently.

A hand wrapped around mine and I turned to see Keon staring down at me, an unreadable expression on his beautiful face.

"Are you okay," he asked.

The old me, the one that wanted to be an alpha, would have rejoiced at the news. But I didn't. I didn't want to go find my father and tell him that I was indeed part alpha, and that he'd been wrong this whole time. I didn't want to be expected to hate every other class. I couldn't do that.

For as much as I cared, that fifteen percent could stay repressed. The alphas in my life didn't care what I was, didn't care about my standing. The omegas wouldn't treat me any differently either, because they were taught that alphas were equal. And betas...the only one I cared about was my mother, and I didn't want her to find out. I didn't know what would happen if she found out, nor did I want to know. She could remain ignorant.

"Yeah," I finally said, turning back to Seth. "Let's go again."
